Earnings Call Summary
Caterpillar had a strong first quarter with revenue of 17.4 billion dollars, up 22 percent from last year, and adjusted earnings per share of 5.54 dollars, beating consensus of 4.55 dollars. Backlog hit a record 63 billion dollars, with particularly strong demand for power generation equipment serving data centers. Management is investing aggressively in capacity expansion because customers are committing to long term orders for backup power, prime power, and gas compression applications across multiple industries.
Guidance Caterpillar raised its 2026 sales outlook to low double digit growth from expectations set in January. The company expects continued growth across all three segments driven by strong backlog and resilient end markets, especially in power generation for data centers. Management plans to expand large reciprocating engine capacity to nearly 3 times 2024 levels by 2030.
Clearly positive report. Results were better than expected, though the forward reset is not the strongest.
Dividend
Caterpillar pays an annual dividend rate of $6.52 per share, which gives it a yield of 0.94% based on recent trading prices.
